Do you find yourself choosing simplicity over variety and style when it comes to your coils?

Amanda stretches her coily hair

I remember my TWA days a little over a year ago when I use to look at natural hair blogs with that starry-eyed “one day” look (as I still do now). I’d think to myself, “Man, when my hair gets long enough to rock that, you can’t tell me nothin’!”

I’ve always had a strong interest in hair care, but I’ve never allowed it to take precedence over the fact that I still need to study and exercise.

Here are just a few styles that I was always so eager to try only to find out that, for me, they tended to be overrated.

    I have yet to do a blowout or an afro. I do love twist-outs! The wash & go’s were a nightmare- too many knots and terrible shrinkage! I will stick to my twist-outs!It’s all trial & error.

    I choose simplicity over variety and style. I do not do re-twisting at night while I wear twist outs, nor do i wet my hair everyday. When I get the feeling and time ( 2 kids, a partner, and a dog).

    I keep my hair braided and twisted because that is what works for me. I have tried wearing it out but I often find I am self-conscious when I do. I always want to make sure my hair is in check.
